The Ohaneze Ndigbo have lamented the increasing relocation of the Almajirai to the Southeast despite the interstate travel ban by the Federal Government and they have vowed to resist this relocation.

The highest Igbo socio-cultural organisations, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the Igbo National Council (INC) and the Anambra State Association of Town Unions (ASATU) on Tuesday called for a halt to the influx of Northern youths into the southeast states.

They accused security agencies of complicity in the free movement of the Almajirai, which they said makes a mockery of the interstate travel ban.

Ohanaeze President in Anambra State, Chief Damian Okeke-Ogene, said it was left for the people to protect themselves since the Federal Government has “failed to effectively enforce its order.”

Okeke-Ogene said: “The Federal Government is not ready to protect us. We must take our security in our hands. No other person can do that. We’re ready and we warn those without a mission in the state to find alternative abodes. This state can’t contain us and them. We also enjoin the vigilante groups to commence regular combing and security of all the forests of our communities. INC will do everything possible to protect the citizens and territories of the Igbo nation-states,”
